Should I pull the trigger? I have Rajon Rondo and David Lee.

Here's my team:

Brandon jennings
Kaman
Shaq
Rondo
David Lee
Granger
Mo Williams
Aaron brooks
Igoudalla
Luol Deng
Mike Miller
Carl Landry
Udonis Haslem
Carl Landry

I need help with FT% and Free throws made. Parker will provide me another consistent scorer.

What's your rationale behind that?

Thanks for the response

IMO Rondo and Lee are the two best players in the deal.

Changing from Rondo to Parker would help your FT% category, no doubt, but Rondo should at least get to a level where he doesn't hurt you so much from the line, and aside from scoring, he's better than Parker in every category. Plus he's a beast for assists and steals. You will be hurting for the former in a big way if you trade Rondo.

Lee is just flat out better than Scola. And better than Parker too.

You could either get a much better return for the Rondo/Lee package, or go after a Parker/Scola level package with guys less valuable. Try to dump Shaq as well. Rondo/Shaq might actually make more sense, but I probably still wouldn't do it.

Thanks for your critique. However, I think Rondo is at a sell high around this time. He's going to average 11pts, around 8.5 assists, and 2 steals per game. Igoudala, Granger, and Deng provide me enough steals. Aside from Granger, I need another sure fire scorer and I believe Parker will help fill that void b/c he will increase my FTM, FT%, PTS, and High FG%. Parker will average around 6.5 assist which I think is not bad b/c he completely dominates Rondo in the scoring category without a question. Also, Rondo and his Celtics tend to blow out teams consistently so his minutes per game will decrease and consequently his numbers too.

Overall, I'm just throwing Rondo around my league to see how much other owners will be willing to give up for him. I'm in no hurry to trade him at all until I get the ultimatum package.

Rondo/Lee side is 1000x better.. if your dead set on moving Rondo look for a better package.
